Tormek Stone Grader

Detailed Description

Tormek Stone Grader

Once a tool is ground to a satisfactory shape, or if it needs only touch-up sharpening
to begin with, set the jigged tool aside and dress the grinding wheel with the fine side
of Tormek's Stone Grader, a special two-sided dressing stone. As you press the grader
firmly against the rotating wheel through a few revolutions, it dresses the surface
with 1000 grit abrasive, quickly turning the coarse grinding wheel into a fine sharpening wheel.

It's as effective as changing wheels entirely; but it's a better idea; you can go back to work
at once, without altering the jig or tool rest settings at all. You'll sharpen at exactly the
same angle at which you ground the tool, and it will take only fifteen to thirty seconds to
work up to a sharp edge. To grind your next tool, dress the stone briefly with the
coarse side of the grader to return to 220-grit grinding action.
